San Diego, CA, November 14, 2026 — Reports from advocacy groups indicate concerns regarding the detention conditions for immigrant families in San Diego. According to these advocates, families are allegedly being held in detention rooms described as cold and sunless.
A key point raised by advocates is the duration of these detentions.
